Should we change JSON-based to PHP-based customizer?

Hi,
I have just found Arastta. It is great!
I'm interested in Customizer but I see that customizer options is stored in file {your_theme}/customizer.json.
Should we change JSON-based to PHP-based customizer?
Because of
1. Consistent translation
Currently titles and descriptions are written like below


"title": {

  "en": "General",

  "tr": "Genel"

}

It is hard to make a PHP package to tranlsate these texts.

2. Hard customization
We does not customize that JSON-based file but we can do with PHP-based file with VQMOD/OCMOD.

What do you think?

    Welcome on board, glad to see you liked it.

    1) Right, we must use language strings there.

    2) Arastta introduces a new modern Event/Hook System instead of the hacking method of vQmod/OCMod so we should just add the event for that:
    http://arastta.org/docs/developers/event-system

    So I'm ok with improvements but not changing to PHP, designers don't like it ;)

    The external json based file is basically only for getting the settings in the backend.
    Nevertheless, I have modified the complete Customizer to be multilinguale as the rest of the system
    And I have reworked the complete controller.
    Attached the new files, simply extract and overwrite.

    I have NOT added a en-GB language file, only de-DE is included.
    To have it in your own language, somply translate.
    But if there is no translation availabe, the strings are displayed in English - you will see what I mean.

    I ask everybody to tell me what you think - if okay it should be added to the core.
